We will have to document that as a wrinkle. I agree, and hope that someone will do this. Just for the record: If useXIM had already been a user option (that could be toggled at run-time from inside emacs), I would not have proposed (and implemented) the new meaning of --without-xim. I'll remove --without-xim entirely once that is done. -- Kim F. Storm http://www.cua.dk
